School of Natural Medicine – Healing Diets – Independent Health Online Course

Description of Healing Diets – Independent Health Online Course

With 12 in-depth modules, this course will teach you far more than you ever imagined about the use of food for healing, and will ground this knowledge through personal experience-based lessons. Learn the principles of true nutrition, and how to understand the unique needs of each individual, within the context of personal circumstances and goals.

Expand into healing diets for balancing the inner ecology, cleansing and rejuvenation, longevity, life phases, beauty, emotional wellbeing, mental clarity and support for the evolution of higher consciousness. Discover how your food buying choices either support quality of life and sustainability, or damaging political and corporate agendas and, further, how myriad factors affect soil health and the environment – which in turn affects a food’s nutrient density and innate healing capacity.
